seed stratification, here's how I do it

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

seed stratification, here's how I do it. soak seeds overnight, drain and add some damp peat moss, mix up and put in the fridge. also label with the date and expected months required. I use peat moss but sand is also good, or coir or seed starting mix. you want around 2-4x the volume of your seeds in the medium, it's there to keep the moisture even and create some buffer between the seeds. also if they sprout early it makes the easier to separate, I will often let them start to germinate in the bags then plant out into pots. #seedstarting
